FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 65 MPH MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER. A "DRIVE TRAIN MALFUNCTION" WARNING APPEARED ON THE DASH INDICATING THAT I HAD REDUCED POWER. MY SPEED WAS QUICKLY REDUCED AND I HAD TO CRUISE TO THE RIGHT LANE. UNFORTUNATELY THE PORTION OF THE NJ GARDEN STATE PARKWAY THAT I WAS ON DID NOT HAVE A SHOULDER. IT JUST SO HAPPENED THAT THE GUARD RAIL WAS BROKEN AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE ROAD AND PLACE THE CAR BETWEEN THE OPENING BETWEEN THE BROKEN GUARD RAILS. I WAS NOT INJURED OR INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, LARGELY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE WAS A BREAK IN THE GUARD RAIL. AFTER TOWING THE CAR TO THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS AN "EQUIPMENT UPDATE/CUSTOMER CONVIENCE UPGRADE" FOR THE CAR THAT WOULD REPLACE THE FAILED FUEL INJECTORS FREE OF CHARGE. I FEEL THAT THIS CLEARLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS BEING DISGUISED AS AN EQUIPMENT UPGRADE. LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IS ABSOLUTELY DANGEROUS. BMW SHOULD NOT WAIT UNTIL THE INJECTORS FAIL TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. OR WAIT UNTIL THERE ARE A COUPLE OF FATALITIES TO CALL THIS WHAT IT IS .. A SAFETY HAZARD!! AS I CHECKED ONLINE FORUMS, MANY BMW OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. BMW IS ALSO TELLING ME THAT THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLEY AND SENSORS NEED TO BE REPLACED AT MY COST DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS COULD ALSO CAUSE A SHUT DOWN/AND OR REDUCTION OF POWER TO THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. *JS

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
THE ENGINE IN THIS CAR (N63) HAS MAJOR FLAWS. AT ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING THIS ENGINE CAN STALL OR REDUCE POWER. THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE TIMING CHAINS, FUEL INJECTORS, VANOS SYSTEM AND OTHER ELECTRICAL ENGINE PARTS. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE A TOTAL OF 57 DAYS SINCE APRIL 2014 FOR ENGINE FAILURE. THIS CAR WHEN FAILS WILL REDUCE POWER OR SHUT DOWN AND YOU HAVE NO POWER TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. BMW FAILS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. BMW IS CURRENTLY REPLACING SOME OF THE PARTS THAT THEY THINK MIGHT HAVE SOME EFFECT BUT NOT ALL DEALERS ARE ASSISTING CONSUMERS AND BMW WILL NOT RECALL THIS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS THIS N63 ENGINE IS USED IN ALL BMW VEHICLES FITTED WITH A V8. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AT 57,000 MILES, MY 2010 BMW 750LI NEEDED 6 OUT OF 8 FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED. THE FUEL INJECTORS FOR THE N63 ENGINE PLATFORM HAVE BEEN REDESIGNED MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO A HIGH RATE OF PART FAILURE. THE PARTS WERE POORLY DESIGNED, AND ARE FAILING PREMATURELY ON VEHICLES. BMW REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FAULTY FUEL INJECTORS AND SHOULD PROPERLY ISSUE A RECALL. *JS

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING ON TURNPIKE HEADING SOUTH. THE BMW LIGHT CAME ON TRANSMISSION FAULT. REDUCE ACCELERATION AND HAVE YOUR CAR CHECKED BY THE NEAREST BMW. NOW THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 4-MONTH'S. BMW SERVICE HAS CHANGED THE BALL JOINT GOING INTO TRANSMISSION AND STATED THIS WAS THE ISSUE. THE CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE OVER 40MPH WITH ACCELERATION VERY HIGH. PULLED OVER AND WAITED FOR 5-MINUTES. CAR THEN CRANKED AND LIGHT WAS STILL ON BUT DISAPPEARED AFTER 1-2 MINUTES. THIS EVENT KEEPS HAPPENING. GRANT IT MY CAR IS JUST OVER 53K MILES AND HAS NEVER BEEN LATE FOR ANY SERVICE OR RECALL. CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED, OIL CHANGED REGULAR AS STATED BY BMW. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE BMW BASED ON WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING. I THINK BMW SHOULD STEP UP TO PLATE AND FIX THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE IT HAS HAVING FROM THESE $80K CARS. *TR
